Running a design studio, this comes up frequently. We work with startups that rarely have the time/budget to do that over-the-top perfect work. In most cases, too, it is a bit soul crushing to ship work that isn't the absolute best we could have done.
I'm sure both of us don't feel great about it, but at some point there has to be a compromise. We tend to work along the lines of "strive for perfection, accept reality."
